Double Rainbows in Stonehenge

On the way to Stonehenge, the rain starts to pour down again and it gets so heavy for a while that the road is almost flooded and it feels the coach just swimming across the water. But then rain starts to get lighter, and when it is still drizzling, there are two beautiful rainbows hanging in the sky. “rainbows!” someone shouts, and “two” I can’t conceal my great surprise, and they are two full rainbows, so perfect that it is almost surreal.

Ten minutes later, we arrive at the Stonehenge, which is located on a massive open land. And to our deepest joy, the rainbows are still there. I rush off the bus and take some photos of the rainbows. Who knows, the rainbows in this sacred land might bring good luck for the new year!

The wind is really strong when we are circling the Stonehenge, but the late afternoon sunlight shed beautiful glow on the stone, making this an ideal time for photos. I am delighted to take photos of the stones from different angles and with different light effects while listening to Hilary telling the myth of the Stonehenge and the latest research on this site. It is very chilly up there with the wind, but standing in the middle of prehistoric site which is listed as world heritage makes it all worthwhile.

And almost right after we get back on the coach, it starts to rain again, and actually quite heavy as well. So we nearly just escape the worst and I say to myself, maybe it is a sign that I will get lucky in the new year. After all those drama in 2006, for sure I need a fresh start and outlook for the new year.
